 * Hello, I recently installed your plugin mainly because of the ‘use_cache=”no”‘
   ability.
 * The code is embeded in a sidebar field like this:
 * `[gdoc key="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ib7GmQKLaSG5823LfMePZwiMbz7asM6ptz_bNiQ5AGs/
   pubhtml" use_cache="no" query="SELECT A, B ORDER BY A, B"]`
 * My problem is that although the data is supposed to be renewed every time someone
   opens up the page, it stays the same for a while, or until I actually clear the
   page’s cache and the browser’s cookies. Is it a problem with my website’s caching
   system, or have I overlooked something?
 * Thank you in advance! 🙂

 * Hm. What data is supposed to change in that spreadsheet?
 * To be clear, the plugin’s cache is not the same thing as other caches that might
   exist, such as the Web browser cache, an HTTP cache between your website and 
   Google.com, or a cache of your website that you might have installed such as 
   with the WP Super Cache plugin. These caches might exist and be serving your 
   page even if this plugin’s own cache has been disabled. Be sure you’re not accidentally
   hitting one of these caches, too.
 * That said, if the spreadsheet data has not changed in Google Drive, then whether
   or not there is a cache will not matter with respect to what you see, because
   the response from Google will contain the same data as any cached data contains
   anyway. 😉

 * All of it changes dynamicaly, via a script that is run on a second spreadsheet
   and since I want it to update immediately (or at least sooner rather than later)
   I thought the plugin option was a good idea.
 * I guess since it can’t be the plugin’s cache it is probably the doings of the
   W3 Total Cache plugin I have installed.
 * Anyway, thank you for your fast reply! Keep up the good work! 🙂

 * Ah, I understand. Yeah, I saw the same behavior you describe with the WP Super
   Cache plugin but that plugin has an option to not serve cached pages to logged
   in users, so when I logged in I saw instant updates. The lesson is that each 
   cache is its own additional layer of indirection. 🙂
